I'm writing an origin story for my character Hope, who was adopted and raised by a Kathar named Henry. Henry's got a lot of personality and story, and he's already gone through quite a bit of development. Now, I was originally planning on having him be an NPC and killing him off by the end of the origin story, or at least making him go missing which is what separated him from Hope, but if you are interested and willing to play Henry, I will GLADLY make him a character sheet and give it to you once it's accepted. You can do what you want with him at that point, but basically he's:
An old war veteran for the Dread Empire. He was stationed with a group of fellow Kathars in Essalonia, but fell in love with a pacifist Cielothar named Autumn and ended up abandoning his duties as a soldier to run away with her. He even changed his name to Henry for her and promised her that he'd never kill again, and was also strongly considering making a transition to become a Manathar, solely to abandon his Kathar culture/heritage and free himself from the grimy hands of the Void. However, one day, the same squad he left went out to find Henry and ended up coming across Autumn. They fatally wounded her, sending Henry into a rampage, viciously slaughtering every single one of them. It was the last thing Autumn saw before she died, and she told Henry he was hopeless. This kind of broke his entire spirit and he ended up joining a gang called The Family, for five long hard years, and he was dead inside for the entirety of it. Also, the gang had a rule that those who join can never leave, and those who try will be killed, to incentivize loyalty since being in a gang together was the only way for most of the members to survive in Essalonia's dangerous land. The reason I bring up this rule is because two lovers in the gang, an Ailor and a Dwarf, decided to run away and go on a crime-spree together---Henry was sent to kill them. He killed the Dwarf, the Ailor nowhere to be found, only to realize they had a damn baby. He ended up adopting the baby, raising her to be like Autumn, only more naive and optimistic, and she made him feel alive again. He named the kid Hope and raised her for ten happy years in the gang, sheltering her from the violence. But, another rival gang called The Knives ended up getting really strong and ambushed the camp, almost killing Henry, but he survived and was abandoned, everybody thinking he died. Unsure of what to do with Hope, The Family simply told the kid Henry went missing, and bribed a sailor to bring her to Regalia since she'd be safer there. (This happened only about a month and a half ago in-game)
Now after doing a desperate amount of research to find Hope, Henry heard about her getting sent to Regalia and went there almost immediately in a desperate attempt to find her. Though, being a Kathar who's already heavily mutated by the void, this would be incredibly difficult considering Regalia's treatment of Kathars.
If his story sounds interesting to you, lemme know!! Like I said, I'll gladly give him to you and then he's all yours to do what you want with. But, first come first serve.
